  • [quote]Some of them will be revealed very soon. Others will appear when you least expect them. When you see what I’ve seen, I hope you’ll be as excited as I am.[/quote] Update 10/24/14 [quote]Timeline for these changes: They’ll be going in soon. We have a more substantive update in certification right now, which slows down our ability to make changes to the Live game. [/quote] update 10/17/14 [quote]I’m pretty excited about the next game update. I think you will be, too. We’re working up an explanation of what we’ll be changing.[/quote] Update 10/10/14 [quote]Some day, we’ll have this conversation again. That day will come next week, even. [/quote] (In regard to voice chat) Also Update 10/10/14 [quote]If you asking about the next batch of enhancements, refinements, fixes, and tweaks, the answer is: Very soon.[/quote] (In regard to when the next update would happen, not counting the one that fixed the Cryptarch) Update 10/3/14 [quote]We listen to you more than you might think, and there are plans we can’t disclose fully yet that will change your experience as a Guardian.[/quote] (Regarding timeframes on when major fixes and content updates would come) Update 9/26/14 [quote]Destiny's near-term solution will be to allow players to opt-in to voice communication during matchmade activities. Work on this feature was underway at launch and should be rolled out this year in Strikes and the Crucible.[/quote] Dev Notes 9/24/14 [quote]Since launch we've tracked down an issue which has made Strikes more challenging than originally designed by both increasing damage taken by players and decreasing the damage inflicted by players on the boss. Expect to see this addressed soon, and for Strikes to become a little less grindy as a result[/quote] Dev Notes 9/24/14 [quote]In particular those weapons received from completing exotic bounties including Thorn and Bad Juju have disappointed many of us who have gone through the great effort to obtain them because, despite looking and sounding amazing, they feel underpowered. We're here to offer some advice: don't shard those guns. Their time will come.[/quote] Dev Notes 9/24/14 Notice a trend here? I mean other than the statements that proved to not be true (updates that didn't happen). I'm just so tired of the vagueness surrounding these updates. They don't update me on anything other than to know what I already expected which was the developers are developing stuff. I'm sorry, but hearing about the exciting stuff that's "coming soon" just isn't good enough. This game just does not have enough in it to justify this level of blue balls in every update. There are not enough multiplayer maps to make what little PVP annoucements there are, matter. There are not enough strikes, not enough patrol missions, not enough story missions, not enough of anything in the game to make this level of vague "stuff will happen soon" ok. If you don't have anything to report, say nothing. I'd rather have no update or an update that just contains fan art, community suggestions, whatever than the thin veneer of excitement being given on what's "to come". It doesn't take a linguistics expert here to see the change in tone from the first update to the latest updates promising things will be better "some day" (and that forum post begging the community to stop inundating you with threads asking for immediate action/responses to be taken certainly doesn't dissuade such accusations) I just can't get as excited as you are faking DeeJ because I haven't seen anything to be excited about and there are a lot of good games that have come out or will be coming out that will hold my attention unless I'm given something more concrete than vague assurances that my time spent in Destiny will matter. Bungie is my favorite studio and Halo my favorite franchise (and why I wanted to be a game developer) so I want this game to be good and I think it can but you need to start being more candid with your community and tell us some specifics soon or you'll start losing people fast. Even if things go wrong, let your community know, we're big boys and girls we can take bad news but we just can't take "maybe", "soon", "eventually", etc. Please just stop with this kind of language.
